Dallas Physical Exams

Individualized & Thorough Care

An internist is a primary care physician who treats adult patients and performs a range of services depending on the patient’s needs. Some patients require preventive medicine through routine physical exams. These are an essential type of doctor’s visit where your internist will listen to any of your health concerns and listen in a nonjudgmental way. It’s important for you as the patient to be 100% open with your doctor by telling them of your lifestyle habits, including diet, sexual health, alcohol intake, smoking or drug use, and exercise regimen.

Our Dallas annual physical exams will give you the tools you need to ensure your long-term health and wellness. Contact us today!

What Happens During a Physical Exam?

During a physical exam, your internist will check your vital signs – weight, pulse, respiration, blood pressure, and more, to get a clear picture of your overall health. Even before you can notice any symptoms, your internist will check for signs of disease by performing specific health screenings. Some commonly screened conditions include high cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, and various forms of cancer. We are your partner in wellness and health maintenance, developing a plan of action to get you healthy and maintain your wellness for the years ahead.

Will My Internist Coordinate with Any Specialists I See?

An internist is the central point of contact for all doctors you see. They refer patients and coordinate care with other medical specialists to develop a collaborative plan of action focused on your overall wellness.

Your internist can consult with other internal medicine subspecialists, including doctors who specialize in:

• Kidney disease
• Blood disease
• Cancer
• Lung disease
• Bodily hormones
• Digestive tract conditions
• Heart disease
• And more
